| School's comprehensive program is designed to prepare students | |
| for admission to college as well as to provide students with | |
| a structured environment in which sound study habits can be | |
| developed.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Many of our students | |
| enter Saint Thomas More School as learners who have demonstrated | |
| evidence of intellectual ability, who may require an environment | |
| to achieve academic success.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">At Saint Thomas | |
| More School, we pay special attention to the overall training | |
| and development of students whose potential has not yet been | |
| reached or whose progress has been impeded by poor self- concept, | |
| weak study habits or inadequate scholastic background.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Each student takes | |
| five or six academic subjects over the course of a six-period | |
| class day. All courses are college preparatory in nature, and | |
| prepare students for entrance into the best colleges and universities.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br><br> | |
| <i><font size="+3">Great Expectations, Small Classes</font></i></font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Small classes are | |
| a key aspect of Saint Thomas More School's program. With a typical | |
| class size of approximately 12 students, every boy gets the | |
| attention he needs.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Instructors teach not | |
| only their subjects, but also the study skills needed to | |
| master the academic material. The key ingredients of our study | |
| skills program are:</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| • Improved listening and note-taking skills<br> | |
| • Effective time management<br> | |
| • Concentration and memory techniques<br> | |
| • Stress management<br> | |
| • Improving performance on tests<br> | |
| • Systematic study<br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <br> | |
| </font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> <i><font size="+3">A | |
| Commitment to Your Success</font></i></font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">At Saint Thomas | |
| More School, we are fully committed to our students' success | |
| in their studies. To this end, there is virtually no limit to | |
| the amount of extra time and attention we will give a student | |
| in order to support him and help him achieve that success.</font></h3> | |
| <h3> </h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="+3"><i>Emphasis | |
| On Extra Help</i></font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">This is the time | |
| set aside at the end of the class day during which teachers | |
| remain in their classrooms in order to be accessible to their | |
| students.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Evening Study Hall | |
| is held for 2 hours a night, five nights a week, beginning on | |
| Sunday. At that time, students prepare their assignments for | |
| the next day's classes or work on long-term projects. The study | |
| hall is monitored by a member of the faculty who also helps | |
| students as needed.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Sometimes, in order | |
| to succeed, a student may need more help than the regular system | |
| of study skills, extra help and evening study hall provides. | |
| The problem may be motivation or he may need more time to complete | |
| his work.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">In such a case, | |
| the Academic Dean will take whatever steps necessary to insure | |
| that the student makes the necessary improvements. This may | |
| include a mandated schedule of extra help during the school | |
| week; participation in academic campus, a weekend program of | |
| extra study; or daily supervised study.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">In addition, students | |
| who need additional, regular one-on-one attention, can take | |
| advantage of our Peer Tutoring Program, which enlists advanced | |
| upperclassmen, to help fellow students with their homework. | |
| If even more intensive help is necessary, the school will arrange | |
| private tutoring.</font></h3> | |
| <h3> </h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="+3"><i>The | |
| Curriculum</i></font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The curriculum | |
| is developed with the goal that all students enter Saint Thomas | |
| More School to attain college acceptance. In order to be accepted | |
| to college, a student must have a solid background in English | |
| literature and composition, mathematics, and a broad exposure | |
| to history, foreign language, science, and the arts. Based on | |
| the results of the Stanford Test of Academic Skills, students | |
| enrolling in our program are generally lacking basic language | |
| arts and mathematics skills and the study habits necessary to | |
| achieve these skills. Our curriculum, designed around required | |
| courses desired by most colleges, enables a student to develop | |
| those skills necessary for acceptance and success in college.</font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">The minimum requirements | |
| for graduation are a total of 16 credits which include:</font></h3> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> | |
| • Four credits in English<br> | |
| • Three credits in Mathematics (Algebra I & II, Geometry)<br> | |

| <h3>The school day begins at Saint Thomas More School with optional | |

| <h3>Classes and lunch take up the balance of the morning and early | |
| afternoon. The last period of the school day is followed by | |

| <h3>The afternoon is devoted to athletic programs in which all | |

| <h3>Between the end of the class day, afternoon athletics and | |

| take part in extracurricular activities, visit the library, | |
| or converse with friends and advisors.</h3> | |
| <h3>Because they're taught to manage their time and energy efficiently, | |
| students generally find time for themselves - to write or call | |
| home, visit the school canteen for a snack or camaraderie, or | |
| take a quiet walk on campus to be alone with their thoughts.</h3> | |
| <h3>On weekends, our students enjoy leisure time, recreational | |
